Having been a cashier at SquallMart for seven years I can vouch that well-behaved children are not the norm!
My own off-the-wall experience also happened at WalMart. I was about 36 weeks pregnant with a baby that I knew was going to be born with birth defects and the cashier, all cheery and bubbly, asked, "So, are you excited about the new baby?" I wasn't that day so responded, "No, I'm not. He's going to be born missing part of his brain." She shrunk back and made the sign of the cross, like I'd put a hex on her or something. That was the quickest transaction I've ever had...she couldn't wait to get me out of her lane. I know she was just making conversation but I just felt like telling someone off at that moment and unfortunately she was on the recieving end. Nowdays I just laugh about it.
